Events

When you’re building up your business it’s really helpful to get hands-on support, to develop your skills, and to meet others who are in a similar position to you.

Our friendly and inspirational events give you advice from trusted professionals on a variety of topics, and cover: starting your business; growth; finance; environmental issues; marketing and sales; and websites and social media.

We have all done it, visiting a website and then later seeing ads delivered to us from the very website we just visited. Retargeting (also known as Remarketing) is how this is accomplished, by reaching previous website visitors with the right relevant ads on platforms like Google search and Facebook.

Retargeting drastically increases the chance of a sale or booking. Bringing people who once visited your site back. Tracking visitors and retargeting them with ads is a very effective way of giving offers and incentives to people who you may have missed the first time around.

This workshop is meant as a learning experience and to give you the tools to make better decisions within your business. Please note that we are not suggesting to spend on Facebook Ads and Retargeting but merely highlight it’s potential and give you a better insight to make strategic decisions with your Digital Marketing.

Please make sure that you are able to attend the event before you book. If you book a place and are not able to attend we reserve the right to exclude you from further bookings where places are in short supply.

This workshop is completely free and funded by the European Regional Development Fund. It’s delivered by Dorset Growth Hub and WSX Enterprise. It is only open to Dorset registered SMEs and aspiring entrepreneurs with home addresses in Dorset postcodes.

Only one place allowed per business. Please contact the Growth Hub if you wish to reserve a space for another organisation or person.

Some Retail activities are also subject to ineligibility. We can only accept those who are eligible on to our range of courses and workshops. If you require more information or are unsure if you are eligible for the support we offer, you can call us on 01202 607533 and a member of the Dorset Growth hub team will be happy to help.
